WTF? Just got "caught" in some sort of automated speed trap

Here in Iowa those mobile speed traps usually have cameras in them. I personally got a ticket from one mounted on a freeway overpass on HWY30. As for the license plate covers, they do not work. If the inspectors see a blured plate they look at the negative image. Take a photo of your plate...

Actually, a M5 will outperform a base model Corvette in every test that you can think of. Skidpad, 1/4, 0-60, 100-0, slalom, etc... Corvette Z06 is another story though. The Z06 is currently the fastest factory track car in the world south of $500K. The Ferrari 360 Modena is #2. As for pure...

How fast is an F1 car

Nothing. A racing F1 will kill a McLaren F1 on the track. F1 cars have the highest power to weight ratio of anything on pavement with curves. Sprint cars (the dirt type, not CART) are the highest power/weight outside of drag racing. -nut

Your Opinion Wanted: Best Car for under $23,000 ?

I would say avoid the Sentra. A friend of mine owns a GXE and I have driven a couple of the SE-Rs. Just too small and the suspension design leaves much to be desired. Yea, the SE-R might be a little better at the track, but the VW GTI is a much better car all around. As for the VR6 vs 1.8T...

Your Opinion Wanted: Best Car for under $23,000 ?

First of all, DO NOT buy new for this price range. Your options are just too limited. You can buy a VW GTI (1.8L turbo is the best) or a Focus ZX3 (both with manual transmission). There are others but this is my personal suggestion. I would highly recommend the Subaru Impreza WRX, but due to...

I still hold my opinion that American cars from 84-95 should be avoided. Seriously do you know of any American cars in this area with >100K miles that are not either a K-car or a V8 rwd? Like I know of zero Caravans with >100K and the original tranny still in it. -nut
